Samsung Electronics has unveiled a new lineup of premium home appliances that will enable consumers to manage and master the entire cooking process from start to finish.

With insights from some of the world’s top professional chefs, a new refrigerator has been developed that will keep the most delicate ingredients as fresh as possible.

A smart oven that cooks crispy and juicy food up to 50 per cent faster than a conventional convection oven was also among the highlights on display at the 2015 Samsung Mena Forum.

This year marks the debut of the Samsung Chef Collection refrigerator, a premium professional chef-level appliance developed in collaboration with Samsung Club des Chefs, a collaboration between Samsung Home Appliances, Michelin-starred chefs and food visionaries focused on a revolutionary home appliance brand for Samsung.

The Samsung Chef Collection four-door refrigerator represents a huge leap forward in food preservation, storage, organisation and meal preparation, said a statement.

In addition to advanced technology, the Metal Cooling Plate, positioned on the back of the refrigerator compartment, helps to maintain the set temperature throughout the refrigerator, which is important in keeping food fresh and tasty.

Samsung’s Triple Cooling System will create three separate airflows in the refrigerator and freezer, enabling optimal humidity control and improved cooling performance for each compartment.  

It will also enable the Chef Collection Refrigerator to feature a lower right compartment – called the Fridge-in-Freezer – which can be converted from a refrigerator to a freezer and back again, and serves a multitude of needs.  It can be a fresh food prep zone for restaurant-quality meals, a storage space for frozen home-cooked meal, or a centralised area for beverage storage.

Meanwhile, the MW8000J HotBlast Smart Oven incorporates new technology that makes it possible for a convection microwave to cook ‘oven-like’ food 50 per cent quicker than a traditional convection oven. Fast, powerful hot air is blasted downwards directly onto the food from 60 equally distributed air holes. This hot and powerful air comes from a fan that is 1.6 times bigger than traditional convection ovens with a diameter of 154mm.

The MW8000J also comes equipped with a 2250w PowerGrill Duo, which is significantly more powerful than traditional grills in convection ovens, helping families enjoy perfectly grilled food much faster. Its extra wide heaters radiate more powerful and consistent heat, allowing for quicker and more even grilling. In fact, the grill heater is the same as that used in an electric oven.

Despite its compact size, every inch of space is maximised thanks to the MW8000J’s Grande Table, which lets users cook on a much larger scale. Compared to a standard microwave oven, the internal dimensions are larger and the 380mm inner plate is wider, creating an impressive 35 litre capacity. As a result, it is now easy to cook larger plates of food, even a family-sized pizza. - TradeArabia News Service
